President Cleveland.
Boston Herald. j

1t is interesting to notice the
change that has taken place in the
minds of Democratic political lead
ers respecting the second candidacy
of President Cleveland. Two years
ago, and even SO late as year ago,
a number OF these gentlemen did
not hesitate to affirm that Mr..
Cleveland would haye no strength
in another national convention of
the party. But now, prominent
Democrats from all parts of the
country assert that the next con-
vention will be overwhelmingly in
his favor, and it is said that he will
be renominated by exclamation.
The people have evidently been
heard from, and the party leaders
have no choice, but are compelled
to acquiesce in the popular decis-
ion.

Lexington Transcript Speaker
Carlisle holds the second place of
influence and Importance under the
Government and his occupancy OF
the position is secure as long as the
Democrats have a majority in the
House. His opponents have en-
deavored to supercede him by all
the usual methods, and as a last re-
sort, they have pitched upon the
honeyed process. 1t would be as
modest to request President Cleve-
land to decline denomination if
ihisare-election was as assured as
.Carlisle's is, as to ask the speaker
to vacate SO enviable post.

Mr. Carlisle states that be took
no testimony in the contested case
of Geo. H. Thobe against him, be-
cause it was not necessary for him
to do so. The speaker denies that
he will depend upon a technicality

who know him will, readily believe
that he would not accept a seat in

Rutherford B. Hays has done at
least one thing to commend him to
decent people since his retirement
from President Tilden's Office. At
the recent G. A. R. meeting at
Wheeling, he declined to unite in
the insult to President Cleveland,
but politely removed his hat and
kept it off until he had passed un-
der the Presidents portrait, which
the G. A. R. Posts, with the single
exception of the Union Veteran Lee
gion, refused to march under.

Greensboro Messenger aThe
sheriffs are pouring money into. the
State Treasury in a manner never
before known. Though there is the
usual complaint of hard times and
two collections of taxes have been
made within the present year, ow-
ing to the change made
by the new revenue law, the
people all over the State seem
TO have paid UP more promptly
than ever before. The school teach
ers will now be paid up more
promptly. The branch peniten-
iiary completed, the State debt
greatly diminished, thus cutting off
interest, and the tax rate lowered
in future. All this is due to the
new revenue law; and what's more
the rich are compelled to show up
much of their heretofore hidden
property, and share the burdens O
taxation alike with the poor. lie
the Legislature not tamper will
that law, lest they botch it,"
